I wish there was an "anti-report" feature, for those times you feel like someone doesn't deserve it

Last match is a prime example of when I'd use such a feature.

The Kha'Zix was an awesome teammate, but then got hit with (what appeared to be) a bugsplat into perpetual connection failure state. I've been there before myself, while rare it does happen. He was very obviously trying desperately to reconnect, as every other minute or so the game announced him reconnecting before disconnecting again.

I'm also confident he wasn't trolling. 7 kills with 0 deaths, consistently contributing to the team both in his lane and ours, taking towers, etc. His initial disconnect was seemingly random, happened while all three of us were taking the top lane inner tower. Also as mentioned before, he spent the rest of the match's duration attempting to reconnect.

He's going to get punished by Leaverbuster, but he definitely doesn't deserve it. I'm confident the Yasuo would agree with me on that.

As for what such an "anti-report" feature would do, it's quite simple.

After the match, you can click the red exclamation mark to bring up the option to "report" or "anti-report", at which point upon selecting "anti-report" you are given options for common reasons that you would wish to submit one. Stuff like "player doesn't deserve to be punished by Leaverbuster" and "player was being griefed/trolled by teammates".

The report is then submitted for manual review. If the review finds it true, then appropriate action is taken to fix any false punishment on the player's account (and compensation given, where applicable). If the review finds it false, then the anti-report is dismissed and nothing happens.

Wouldn't such a feature imply that the system is, in fact, governed by report "votes", rather than single reports flagging somebody for review? Riot should be able to determine guilt or innocence without other players giving input.

Consider everyway this type of thing could be abused. Mainly by premades could game it. "Was in comms with x, he was trying to connect back the entire time." Premade who is trolling, filling one out for eachother and saying the non premade members were trolling.

It's on him to make sure he has a good connection, it isn't fair for his teammates to deal with it and have there time wasted. Things happen but if he has this issue a lot then he shouldn't try playing. Your teammates must have thought he trolled, I would assume so with all the people who afk in my rank games.

It's a conflicting issue because I personally get hit randomly with attempting to reconnect but fixed my wifi and now im good, but it isn't fair to the team that has to deal with it, auto win for enemy team.

Hope I'm making sense here [slayer-jinx-catface]

I'm not for it, he'll be punished by the leaverbuster, it's not that big of a deal and as stated by the rules he is responsible for his own connection/computer issues. Something like that would be abused for other types of reports like negative behavior and so on.
